These White Created Opal California Bears are developed directly from the iconic California Republic state flag, and measure 12mm from snout to tail. As with all of our White animal shapes, these Cali Bears feature a high-mirror polish on both sides and flash brilliant reds, yellows, and pinks, with hints of blue, green, and purple. They are great for California-themed borosilicate glassblowing projects or when you just need a big beautiful Opal Bear to grace your work!

What is 2nd Quality?
Most of the time an opal will be moved into 2nd quality because it does
not have perfect, bright and consistent fire. Other "imperfections"
could be that the opal is outside size tolerance (too thin or too thick)
or has a small (virtually unnoticeable) scratch or pockmark that is
unacceptable based on our 1st quality standards. No
matter the reason the opal is still very usable, (never any compatibility
issues) and a great value for the artists willing to accept a little
variability in their opals.
